Dear Friends: My husband and I do workshops in writing family history, autobiography and memoir. My husband, Charley Kempthorne, has written a widely accepted book on writing family history and together we have for seven years published a magazine on the subject. We travel the country and have done dozens of workshops in twenty or more of the States. Often we do the workshops at history museums, libraries, seniors centers, and schools. We are going to be in Illinois the week of November 15 to 21 doing workshops at Rockford and several other Illinois cities. Would your organization have a facility where we might do such a workshop? We would need a room (no special facilities necessary, just a quiet and well-lighted room with tables and/or chair with desk arms so that the participants can write easily) for twenty or more people for up to a full day, though sometimes we do half-day workshops. We are a non-profit organization, The LifeStory Institute, Inc., but we do charge for the workshop and we would expect to pay rent for the room. Would you have a place and an interest in such a workshop? Contract us at our e-mail or if you perfer phone us toll free at 800-685-7330 for more detail. Even if the timing is wrong for you in November, please contact us and we could possibly arrange another time. Thanks! June Kempthorne
